Your parents are Santa Claus? No fair!

[–]all_knowing_fish 23 points24 points ago

I hate his parents. I never got an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle.

[–]tweak4ever 11 points12 points ago

The one with the compass in the stock and this thing that tells time?

[–]machomike22 3 points4 points ago

I only got a football.

[–]CodingProblems 12 points13 points ago

I got a rock.

I love that part... 'thing that tells time'. Let me see, what could that be...

Thank you.

i did see this on reddit, but i believed that this was an original idea.

[–]Vonka 13 points14 points ago

I think I'm probably the only person who doesn't recall ever believing in Santa Claus. I was a skeptical kid.

[–]saiyanhajime 21 points22 points ago

I'm with you.

Weird thing is though, I recall pondering the existence of tooth fairies... Because my dad tried so fucking hard to troll me. He left letters with writing so tiny I needed a magnifying glass to read them. I concluded that they would be impossible for a human to write, and so the fairy must be true.

Still don't know how he fucking did it...

[–]Vonka 14 points15 points ago

Haha your dad is awesome

[–]GuysImLost 2 points3 points ago

This guy can write 100 words on a single grain of rice with a needle.

[–]saiyanhajime 1 point2 points ago

Well damn I guess my dad trained under him.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

My parents always told me that Baby Jesus brought our presents, and never once entertained the idea that Santa Claus was real. I've never met anyone else who was told that Baby Jesus brought the presents. Not grown-up Jesus. As a kid, I thought it was funny that Baby Jesus can carry a bicycle and a Hot Wheels set and all the other crap I got for Christmas. However, being the youngest child, my parents stopped telling me Baby Jesus brought presents around the time I was 8. At that point my siblings were teens, so they probably realized our parents bought all our gifts, so my parents just stopped pretending it wasn't true.

[–]tacojohn48 0 points1 point ago

I don't recall believing, but I recall pretending I did thinking I'd get more presents.

[–]KingOfTheMonkeys 0 points1 point ago

Nope. I did, however, pretend to believe in him because I was under the impression that if my parents found out I didn't I would stop getting presents for Christmas.

[–]OtpThePerson 0 points1 point ago

Never believed. It took until 6th grade for me to convince my friends, and half of them still believe in... everything else. I'm in 7th now, and I have, maybe, 2 friends who were never gullible enough to believe it past 3rd grade? Maybe 1?... I hate my generation.

[–]Always_be_awesome 0 points1 point ago

I was raised knowing Santa is pretend. I'm doing the same with my son. It just doesn't feel right lying so extensively to someone who's trust is vital.

[–]Vonka 0 points1 point ago

I agree. I honestly don't see the point in keeping up a charade. Your kid should know you did something nice for them and appreciate you for it

[–]ITripFatPpl 0 points1 point ago

I was told he came down the chimney, ....we didn't have one.

[–]KneadSomeBread 0 points1 point ago

My parents were divorced when I was young. From: Santa tags at my mom's house were written in nice cursive. From: Santa tags at my dad's house were blocky and all caps. Finding out this way didn't bother me much; I was a skeptical kid. I'm almost 21 and I still haven't actually told my mom I don't believe in Santa.

[–]koyo4 3 points4 points ago

How many of you were never told, but figured it out on your own before it became embarrassing?

[–]DallasTruther 2 points3 points ago

I figured it out when I received a glitter-filled card that told me to be a good girl.

I'M NOT A GIRL!Really, I'm not a...

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points ago

I wasn't too disturbed. I first had my suspicion when I realized the wrapping paper from santa was the same kind my parents used. The conversation was like: "mom, is santa real?"

Mom: "...no"

Me: "oh.. the easter bunny?"

"no"

"tooth fairy?"

"No"

"jesus?"

"No. Oh wait, yes."

[–]evildood 1 point2 points ago

I was in fifth grade and still believed. I then found my baby teeth when my mom was showing me my baby ring (jewelery case). As soon as i realized it was my mother taking my teeth, Santa came next, then religion. Bet she regrets keeping those teeth now. Which always seemed... Unusual. I have a kid now and i have a pretty strict no lying policy. I think I'm the only one who tells my kid that Santa WAS based on St.nick and we carry on his tradition of gift giving. Thoughts? She's only four so if i stop now probably won't remember.

Spoiler alert tags maybe?

[–]nuwzillund 1 point2 points ago

I had this cat years ago that used to love to play laser pointer - she would absolutely freak the fuck out chasing the dot around having a great time. One day when playing she just stopped chasing the dot - and deliberately looked me right in the eye - held my gaze for a few seconds - then returned to chasing the dot. I swear she was letting me know that she wasn't stoopid.

[–]evandude1 1 point2 points ago

Then life was never the same for realization cat...

[–]rumbar 1 point2 points ago

what breed of cat is this?

[–]q12345thor 1 point2 points ago

Looks like a Scottish Fold.

[–]DogRiverDave 1 point2 points ago

I've always wondered how big of a deal this was to people. I come from an Asian family living in Canada, so we do the gift giving thing, family feast, the whole shebang. But there was never any impression given to the kids that Santa gave the presents. I even had a great uncle who would sign all his presents as from Santa, but we all knew it was him.

[–]shancb9 0 points1 point ago

Wait...Santa isn't real?

[–]Fojhed 1 point2 points ago

No no no, Santa is real, but his dad is Santa. I assume his mother is Mrs. Claus, unless she had an affair with some other guy. The point is, Santa is real and always has been.

[–]I_MAKE_USERNAMES 0 points1 point ago

If his dad was for sure Santa, how would his mom having an affair impact that in any way?

[–]Fojhed 0 points1 point ago

Because we all know Santa is a guy, he says that his parents were Santa, and I assume he meant just his dad is Santa, or he had affairs with other women to make OP.

[–]I_MAKE_USERNAMES 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, exactly. You said his mom was Mrs. Claus, unless she had an affair. You should have said unless Santa had an affair.

[–]Fojhed 0 points1 point ago

Oh, I meant it the other way around.

[–]Kozimix 0 points1 point ago

I wish cats stood up like this all the time.

[–]effieokay 0 points1 point ago

Commenting so I can find this later.

[–]m3ric 0 points1 point ago

all the ice did not give it away? but now its time to pull your head out of the snow and stop this horrible little person slave labour! YOU can make a difference!

[–]shizzy1427 0 points1 point ago

Man, I lost it. This is hilarious. Cats rule.

[–]DDweller 0 points1 point ago

The internet destroyed another childs hope and dreams

[–]IradiumPyr 0 points1 point ago

Wait. He isn't real? And my parents have been lying to me since I can remember!?

I've seen this gif so many times, but have never seen the source video. Anyone have a link to said sauce?

[–]mocotazo -2 points-1 points ago

I wouldn't have seen this had it not been a repost. Stop being so moany.

[–]Ammy442 0 points1 point ago

Anybody notice that the feather goes in a "Danger Zone" ,as my parents like to put?

[–]talitus 0 points1 point ago

Text ruins another gif.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

Santa Claus only visits once a year and he's kind of a dick.

[–]TheElusiveTrout 0 points1 point ago

The thing that gets me everytime with this gif is how the human keeps tickling the cats belly the entire time.

[–]about8pandas -1 points0 points ago

the text ruins the gif

[–]That_Damn_Sasquatch 2 points3 points ago

Strongly disagree. To each their own, but for me, the text MAKES the gif. One of my faves since the first time I saw it.

[–]DallasTruther 1 point2 points ago

Dude when cats think they're alone, that's when the real shit goes down.

When they realize there's a person with them, their world gets shattered.
